Clinching is the process of joining material when a special punch & die form an interlocking joint between two material types. Clinching machines oftentimes replace spotwelders, riveters or screw process machines. You can clinch galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, brass and many other metals at very fast speeds up to 270 hits per minute. Different tooling (punches & dies) are used depending on the type and thickness of material you want to clinch. Various model machines are available with different tonnages and throat depths depending on your application. Contact Scott Machinery to see about information on Clinchers.
